Welcome to a new chapter in your career. You are about to embark on a journey of adventure, travel, and discovery. EcFlight will guide you during this transition providing the best content for your training. In fact, our team is composed of four pilots who today are certified flight instructors and airline transport pilots who, a few years back, used to be four lost and confused students learning about aviation with zero background in the field, just as lost as you might feel today.
We know how exciting and scary this career can be. As a result, we organize this course to help you succeed in your goal of becoming a private pilot. So how do you get started.? The more information you have about the training, the easier it will be for you to understand your instructor and have a more positive experience while flying.
In this section, we will talk about:
- Who is the FAA, and where to find the rules they follow?
- What are the private pilot requirements?
- What is a medical certificate, how to obtain one, and what are the different types?
